Chapter 1951: "Knitting sweater training class"

Cotton makes sense for replacing linen and woolen cloth. Cotton cloth is not only soft and comfortable, but also easy to clean. It is a good material for underwear. It is said that after the introduction of Indian cotton cloth, Europeans have greatly improved their personal hygiene.

Of course, Marin did not want to replace silk and woolen cloth with cotton cloth. Why? This is not in his interest! If cotton cloth is popular in Europe, then silk and woolen cloth will fall out of favor. The silk trade in the Ming Dynasty was precisely Marin's important interest. Therefore, it is impossible to replace silk and woolen cloth with cotton cloth.

However, cotton cloth can be used for underwear!

Marin's plan is to let Europeans get used to wearing cotton underwear and woolen sweaters in the future. As for the outside, nobles and rich people wear silk coats, and ordinary people wear wool and linen coats ...

In this way, the three types of textiles have their own living spaces and do not interfere with each other. And Marin also guaranteed his own silk interests.

In fact, this distribution model has a style of later generations. In modern times, people are used to wearing cotton underwear and wearing sweaters to keep out the cold. Then, casually outside, depending on personal preferences and financial resources ...

Under the impetus of Marin, some women in Beihai have learned to knit sweaters, and they can knit sweaters and trousers with good cold protection effect. These sweaters are tight-fitting and don't look cumbersome when you put them on. You can also wear silk robes outside, which is very convenient and fashionable. Before the introduction of sweaters by Marin, the cold-proof clothes inside the Europeans were mainly jackets made of sheepskin with hair. However, the cold protection effect is not very good. In particular, the arm area cannot be taken care of. Or, it is simply a cloth made of woolen cloth, which is multi-layered but very heavy. Unlike a sweater knitted by hand, if the craftsmanship and materials are good, the knitted sweater is light, warm and breathable.

In addition, the most important point is that hand-knitted sweaters, no venue restrictions, and no machinery and equipment, are suitable for women who are idle. Just go to the store to buy a few **** of wool and a few wooden needles, and you can make a sweater.

Marin clearly remembered that the mother and the woman next door in the previous life, before the winter came, during the leisure time, several women in the neighborhood gathered together to chat about gossip, while they kept knitting sweaters.

Knitting sweaters can produce benefits. Women with good craftsmanship can not only knit sweaters for their families. Even, Marlin will arrange shops under the Beihai Club to place orders for women with good craftsmanship during agricultural leisure, so that they can help weave quality sweaters. , And then acquired and concentrated sales. In this way, those clever women, who also have a share of income during farming slack, can subsidize their families. For ordinary people, this is definitely a good thing, and it can make the family's economic conditions much better.

In addition, because the sweater can consume a lot of wool, it is also a good stimulus for the sheep industry. After all, even poor-quality coarse wool can be used to knit sweaters after spinning into a pile, and it is cheap.

As a result, Beihai has formed a complete industrial chain of "raising sheep and shearing wool to acquire woolen yarn and knitting sweaters", which has fed many people and made ordinary family life much better. At the same time, it can also generate a lot of taxes.

Even, Marin also ordered to spend money on hiring women with the highest level of knitting sweaters in a certain area, and organize local young women and girls to learn the techniques of knitting sweaters together during the farming slack. As a result, knitting sweaters has become an important job for ordinary women in Beihai in their leisure time. Not only can you pass the time, but also bring income to the family. Of course, the premise is that your craft is not too trendy. Otherwise, the acquisition of the store is rejected ...

For now, because of limited funding and traditional social beliefs, the Beihai State-owned artisan school currently only accepts boys. As for girls, they cannot go to school normally.

But Marin has decided to take advantage of the opportunity to concentrate on the skills of knitting sweaters, and also teach those girls to recognize some words. It does not require a high level, you can at least recognize the word, and then learn the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at the elementary school level. In this way, in future daily life, it will not be blinded by lack of computing power.

Even, Marin did not plan to spend money to establish a special girls' school, but intended to directly borrow churches around the country. Anyway, besides Sunday, the church is also idle. During the farming slack, it is entirely possible to call all women in the church in the name of "knitting sweater training class", while knitting sweaters, while looking for nuns to teach girls literacy and the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The teaching equipment is also very simple. The nun who teaches uses blackboard and chalk, while the girl who studies uses the cheapest sand table and branches. In this way, without the venue, and at little cost, girls in Beihai can have the most basic writing and arithmetic skills. It doesn't need to be too high, it is enough to have the second grade of elementary school. Moreover, the time is also set at tenth of the rural slack, and it does not delay the girl to work for the family at ordinary times ...

As for the name, it will be implemented in the name of "knitting sweater training class". Anyway, the Beihai Church is under Marin's control, and those of the churches dare not say anything. There is no cost to borrow the church grounds. As for teaching little girls literacy, a nun must be used to avoid any blame for the priests. Although nuns are not everywhere, it is not difficult to arrange a nun in a church. Big deal, the official arranges the carriage to go to the convent to pick up nuns to teach in churches everywhere.

Of course, for some particularly smart girls, Marin does not want to bury waste. Once the nun found that the little girl was particularly clever, Marin would let the financial appropriation send him free of charge to Marin ’s specially-built girls ’school for further training. Then, according to their strengths and interests, cultivate suitable talents.

As a traverser of later generations, Marin does not discriminate against women. Even, in the last life, Marin dared not discriminate against women. Otherwise, you will be warned by the female fist ...

Therefore, Marin agreed that if women shift their focus from love, entertainment, makeup, and luxury goods to business, they will not be much worse than men in physical work.

Of course, in this era, limited by social values, Marin cannot provide women with too many job opportunities. However, in some industries, it is necessary for women. For example, gynecologists, especially obstetricians and gynecologists and nursing professions, must be women. At present, those midwives in Beihai have no culture and low professional qualities, which is a potential safety hazard.

It should be understood that the production of women is related to the overall plan for population growth. Therefore, the clever little girls selected from the "knitting sweater training class" will in the future be trained as professional gynecologists, nurses and other important occupations.

Of course ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It depends on personal interests and specialty. For those girls who do not like to be a doctor, Marin will arrange for them to study clothing tailoring and design, as well as art and other occupations that are suitable for girls. There are also some people who will stay and work as teachers in girls ’schools to train more smart women.

And if there are very rare scientific research women, Marin will not refuse. On the contrary, they will be particularly encouraged and protected. After all, there are more researchers who Marlin is looking forward to.

The basis of all this is the basic education and selection of "knitting sweater training class". Marin has long been familiar with this kind of "black sheep selling dog meat" black box operation. Just like the "artisan school" that is popular in Beihai now, it is actually a popular elementary and middle school in later generations. Only, facing the civilian class, focusing on science. After all, Marin wants to protect the interests of the nobility. However, it does not hinder letting civilian children stand out through the science and engineering industry and change their own destiny.

This "knitting sweater training course" that "hangs sheep's heads and sells dog meat" gives smart women of this era a chance to escape from poverty. If they become female doctors, nurses, fashion designers, artists or researchers, their treatment will definitely be higher than that of ordinary people, and they will be protected by Marin. At that time, Marin will not only give these powerful women a higher salary, but also deliberately raise their social status to attract more girls to move forward.
